Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular clinical assessment is advised along with MRI of cervical spine.

As the pain travels from neck to the palms, this is more of a neuropathic pain, occurs due to pinching of nerves. After a thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment, an MRI will be suggested to check the level of nerve pinching. Post which, with simple physical therapy like, Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain will subside. Post which you may need exercises to strengthen the muscles of the neck and also the upper limb as whole for future safety.

Usually, in my clinical practice, majority of patients respond well to physical therapy.
